That's a lot of money for a 35-year-old SS that had just a .705 OPS the last 2 years, and 25 errors in '09(that's 10 more than our crappy shortstop). Looking at their lineup, I'd think there's a good chance Dusty has him and his .316 obp('09, .322 career) batting 1st or 2nd. He's still got pretty good speed, dudes.

The Cincinnati Enquirer reports,
"On paper, Cabrera looks like the Reds’ 2-hole hitter, but his .316 on-base percentage last year is nothing to write home to his native Colombia about. Jocketty said he wasn’t overly concerned about that."
Of course, Dusty might just have him lead off.
